I washed and dryed my first crayon today. My clothes have lovely orange splotches on them. Does anyone have a remedy for clothes a la crayon? I'm running them through a wash again but if there's any secrets before I have to cherry pick casualties, I would love to know.
You know you're a mom when you're saying "stop licking me!" and you aren't talking to a dog...
You know you're a mom when you look at yourself, say "clean enough" and get into the car to go to the store!
You also know you're a mom when you realize that what you thought was chocolate under your fingernail wasn't....chocolate....Eeeeeweeee!
Good luck with the crayon. I haven't have that. Yet. 9 years. Knock wood. My frequent dryer flyer is Kleenex....and metal screws from husband's job....
You know your a mom when you nurse your baby on a toilet at Disney World! LOL
you know you're a mom when sitting on the couch under an afghan, eating homemade popcorn and watching Transformers for the 100th time sounds like a great Saturday night ;)
You know you're a mom when you sit on legos and don't notice...
You know you're a mom when you ask a group of adults if anyone "needs to potty before we leave?"
You know you're a mom when you're heart is now outside of your chest and you're forever more vulnerable than you ever imagined you could be.
You know you are a mom when you catch throw up in your hands to keep it from getting on the car.
you know you are a mom when you drive your kids to bus stop, school or other places before having caffeine and without brushing your hair or teeth and you are still in your pjs all the while hoping that no one sees you or worse get pulled over, run out of gas etc...
You know you're a mom when you're at work and you hear another mom's child yell 'mommy!!!' and you have to stop yourself from turning to look for you own child!
I guess it's the auto-pilot response. LOL

you know your a new mom when you go shopping with dry spit up on your shirt.
Oh geez, barf was the first thing that came to mind for me for this question too, how sad is that???? Anytime I am up at 3 am with a kid throwing up (all over her bed or the bathroom floor of course) and washing bedding in the wee hours... that's when I have those "yup, I'm officially a mom" moments. I think only moms know the pleasure of being up in the middle of the night washing sheets, serving gatorade, making cold compresses etc.
When you use your sleeve as a kleenex for your kid.
When you can tell which of your kids has a poopy diaper by the smell from across the room. (my husband still can't believe that)
To get candle wax out of the carpet, we covered the spot with a brown paper bag and used an iron on low. The bag sucked up all of the colored grease. If washing alone doesn't work, try that on your clothes.
When you wipe a nose with your bare hand and don't get grossed out.
I agree with ena, only I did it a little different. It was wax on a carpet. I scraped off as much as I could the I used paper towel with the iron instead of a paper bag. Good luck!
I know I'm a mommy because of the constant state of worry. Not really constant, lol, but pretty regular :)
I would try Carbona http://www.carbona.com/stain-devils-3-ink-and-crayon.html or Zout.
